This is how it should have come from the factory, imo.

I've been waiting for this from you... I've been thinking about the Swifts too. They're definitely one of two top options for springs on my list. So, I know you said on the "Lowered" thread the ride was great, but how's the ride compared to stock? VERY curious about this one.

Thanks BTE!

BTW, looks flippin' GREAT!

The ride is nice. Feels stable and sporty but not bouncy or rough. On the way to my alignment I had to detour down this road I wasn't used to. It had patches and rough spots and uneven pavement and Adele handled it like a champ!

I bought some driving shoes that don't look like driving shoes except on the bottoms. They are a very good thing for people with big feet.

I've gotta get Kim to break them in though...her feet are slightly larger than mine and they are a little pinchy at the pivot points.

I just got a pair myself, but in black, with blue and white striping - and yeah, they do pinch a little, but they look awesome with my BSP FIT!

They all must come slightly undersized because mine were also tight and another freak I met was wearing his while shopping to loosen them up.... I at one time had a shoe stretcher that became one of most items I was liberated of in a divorce so all I could think of to use to stretch mine with were a pair of shoe trees that I would place an increasing thickness of socks on while keeping them damp by daubing them with saddle soap and water, and also wearing them while dampened.....Most of the time I was driving my Fit bare footed or wearing deck shoes but driving shoes are great.

Pics of Adele were taken at Northpark mall--top of the parking garage attached to Dillards.

I was kind of thinking I recognized the buildings but I guess I never saw them from that angle and from up high....I managed a district for the Times Herald just across Central from where you were.
